I think it is time to remind everyone that they need to look at the posting guidelines for FT again.

FT realizes that there is a lot happening with US but that doesn't give anyone the right to attack another person!!!

Before posting, take a deep breath, write what you want, then let it sit for awhile and decide if that is really what you want to post.

Those that don't follow the guidelines may not be able to post or the thread may be locked or deleted.

Thank you all for your understanding.

This clearly needs to be bumped.

bumping

I don't understand for the bumping. This use to be a sticky didn't it?

Yes it was a sticky and will be again. It was unstuck because several people need a reminder about the posting guidelines. It seems it was being ignored when it was a sticky.

As safetymom points out, a gentle reminder was needed.

I think that a review of http://www.flyertalk.com/help/rules.php might be in order for a bunch of FT members who frequent the US Airways forum.

One more time--keep the Guidelines and Rules in mind.

Since there has been a rash of this lately, be advised that duplicate handles are a violation of the FT Guidelines and Rules. If you are subject to suspension or permanent removal of your FT posting ability due to repeated violations, you are not permitted to register a new handle.

We have technical means of determining when this happens and the new handle will be suspended without warning.

For the first time since this forum was moderated (about 5 years ago in the case of the US Airways (east) forum), we now need to have a friendly reminder about the FT TOS:

Things that will lead to disciplinary action--discussing moderator actions (http://www.flyertalk.com/help/rules.php#q86).

On-board discussion of moderator decisions - including post deletions and member discipline - is not allowed and will be removed. Members will also be subject to disciplinary action. If you have a question about a moderator action, contact the moderator directly or Randy Petersen.

And, for anyone who might think a moderator has to be either a fan or foe of the forum they moderate:

A moderator overview (http://www.flyertalk.com/help/rules.php#q61).

Moderators contribute to threads just as other members do. They are held to the same standards when posting as any other member.

There have recently been a rash of people who seem to want to discuss the topic of moderation on-thread. Do us (your mods) a real favor: PM us, or, if you don't like what you hear, PM Randy. Avoid running afoul of the TOS. It has consequences that we (mods) are not particularly thrilled about enabling and that members will not be fond of.

I think it is time once again for everyone to read the posting guidelines for FT.

We can all have different opinions but no name calling will be tolerated.
